From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eau Galle River is a tributary of the Chippewa River in western Wisconsin in the United States. It is about 35 mi (56 km) long [1]. Via the Chippewa River, it is part of the Mississippi River watershed.
[edit] Course
The Eau Galle River rises in southeastern St. Croix County and flows generally southeastwardly through northeastern Pierce, southwestern Dunn and northern Pepin Counties, past the villages of Spring Valley and Elmwood. It joins the Chippewa River in Pepin County, about 3 mi (5 km) southwest of Durand.
At Spring Valley, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dam causes the Eau Galle to form Eau Galle Lake, also known as Lake George.
